We'll explore FATF's key responsibilities, how it monitors countries' compliance through its 40 recommendations, and the implications of being placed on the Grey List. Additionally, we'll review Canada's performance in adhering to FATF standards and what to expect in the upcoming mutual evaluation in 2025. This overview will help you understand FATF's impact on our industry and the importance of maintaining robust AML and CTF practices.
